Every year, we organise a 'weekend' for second years with compulsory industrial year. The evening and day focus around mock interviews with real industrialists from companies like Google, Oracle, United Technologies (UTC), GE, Portaltech Reply, Network Rail, DataSift etc.
The event takes place this year on the Friday 6th and Saturday 7th November 2015. We will leave campus by coach at 4pm (sharp) on the 6th and return to Aber around 6-7pm on the 7th. I will post the exact location the coach leaves from shortly (probably near the campus entrance).
You must submit your CV and covering letter (deadline 1st November) for one of the jobs listed under Blackboard module DEPT-N-UG: Computer Science Student Resources. Follow the sidebar link for Industrial Year. Submit your CV and covering letter using the TurnitIn links at the end of that page.
Bev Herring from careers will be available in the CS department foyer to discuss CV's covering letters.
Please sign up for a slot at the hatch in advance to fix a slot.
Tuesday 20th Oct 2015 (1pm - 3pm)
Monday 26th Oct 2015 (1pm - 3pm)
Wednesday 28th Oct 2015 (11pm - 1pm)
The dress code for the Saturday will be SMART (no jeans, T shirts etc). You should dress as you would for a job interview. You will be meeting a number of real employers. Friday evening can be casual attire.
The weekend will include interviews, skills building, assessment center information, talks from employers, and from students recently returned from theor IY as well as time in the bar.
All second years with an integrated industrial year as part of their degree attend, others may if there is room.
